CTAN Update: installfont
by CTAN Announcements 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

On Sun, 7 Nov 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the installfont package. Summary description: A bash script for installing a LaTeX font family. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- With this script you can install a LaTeX font family (Postscript Type1, Truetype, Opentype). It supports font series from light to ultra bold + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts. The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal) or will otherwise expect *.afm files and the font files (in Postscript Type1 format!) named in the Karl Berry scheme (e.g. 5nar8a.pfb). After running the script, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree. License: LPPL New in v1.6a: - Bugfix: RequirePackage{softmakerfreefont} got lost in the last update ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/installfont . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=installfont (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN: ftp://tug.ctan.org is back
by CTAN Announcements 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

The FTP download service at tug.ctan.org is back after an outage of a couple of days, caused by a security notice issued for the program that runs the downloads. Thanks to Rainer for the report and help with fixing the problem. Ordinary users are not directly affected by this outage and reset. (Except, those mirror sites that rely on FTP may take a day to sync their entire holdings to this site and so a user trying to get quite recent material at a mirror may see a day's delay.) I'll note that in the reconfiguration I've abandoned anonymous FTP uploads. Those days are gone. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College
